Dust Collection alternatives

[Hmerkle]

Does anyone know what Fein vacuum would work well with the Festool TS55 and the ETS 125?

I see that Klingspor has this one (below) , but is another model a better choice?

Fein makes a good dust collector for sanding operations.

I have 2 of them in my shop, both with dust deputy's (they fit on top perfectly). They work great. I also have a Festool CT 26 and they are, IMO, comparable.

I use a Rigid shop vac with my domino so I see no reason a Fein would not work with other Festools. I use the Bosch 5 meter hose to hook the domino to the dust deputy that is hooked to the Rigid. Works fine. Same setup also works with my Bosch and DeWalt sanders and DeWalt track saw.

@David Justice You have two Feins and a CT 26?!
Which Fein's do you have?
Can you share a picture of the Fein's and how you have the Dust Deputy's attached or mounted?

Do you feel like the Rigid vac with the sanders "Stick" them to the surface you are sanding? (too much vacuum)

I use one of the Speed control dials to slow down my dust collection if it's too much, I use a motor from a bank vacuum tube but it should work for a ridgid/shopvac as well Router Speed Control Dial

WOW! that is creative, I never thought about using a speed control on a vacuum... since it is a universal motor, it likely would not harm it - and would allow for "variable vacuuming!" ha ha
